Bebe Daniels, the feminine funner is on view this week at the Keith-Albee Memorial Theatre in "Take Me Home." A comedy of the chorus girl and the yokel boy-friend, this picture manages to be quite funny in spots, and at least has the pleasing feature of being constantly on the move. With no plot to speak of, the picture does not suffer as the cavortings of the Bebe and Joe Brewn suffice...
Griffith made her an old woman-the pinchfaced mother in Judith of Bethulia, Intolerance; he made her an outcast girl in Way Down East, Colonel Cameron's sweetheart in Birth of a Nation. She went with him from Biograph to Reliance, Majestic, Fine Arts, Artcraft, First National, United Artists.

That has nothing to do with a play called Young Love which opened in Manhattan last week, except that Dorothy Gish, 30, is back on the stage playing opposite her husband, James Rennie, and Lillian Gish is still in the movies and still unmarried...
...peculiarities, some of them absurd. Among the latter, it would appear, are business conventions, talkies, the beds in railroad cars, Chicago schools, the faces of taxi-drivers, women temperance addicts, Will Hays, subways, Roxy's cinemansion, and Gene Tunney. All of these, J. P. McEvoy, who wrote Show Girl, snubs with villainous though somewhat protracted gaiety in this speedy second edition of his famed revue...
